I thoughjt it was because Diamond Force was a sort of rapid response force. They were depoyed to the area that looked like it was going to need the most attention the fastest. Hence why they got better fighters and better pilots. 376980[/snapback] I guessed as much, but they never really explained or showed their importance in the TV series. They just looked like ace-like normal cannon fodder protecting the fleet with better fighters and a squadron name. That's why in the movie they must be made to look like a rapid response force or a deep striker force, causing chaos and confusion in the enemy in the midst of battle. An elite force just like how Skull Squadron was portrayed in SDF and DYRL?

I'll get started the ball rolling with that Azrael. Story starts with a battle already happening. The M7 fleet is under attack by unidentified variable craft. Battle 7 orders a scramble at DEFCON 1 and all valkyries are deployed. Diamond Force is launched into the heart of the enemy by the use of the linear catapults. (Hey, they never explained why Diamond Force gets catapults whereas the other VF-11s launch normally. ) Diamond Force does some major casualties behind enemy lines while things aren't looking good for the fleet. Max's military maneuvers ensure that the M7 fleet is still surviving despite overwhelming odds. Basara sees the battle from the M7 dome while lazing around some grassy hill. Totsugeki Love Heart's electric guitar intro starts. Basara gets into the VF-19 and flies into the fray, and starts singing. Confusion ensues both from the macross fleet and the enemy fighters. Enemy fighters become disabled when listening to Basara's music becoming easy pickings for the fleet's VF-11Cs. In the meantime, Mylene and gang launch as well while (they already have their valks by the movie's start) causing more confusion in the enemy ranks. The one-eyed freak enemy ace (whose name i forgot) orders a retreat as he sees his army being wiped out easily by this new "Anima Spiritia" fellow. And that's only the starting of the movie. IMHO the M7 series is quite easily compressed into a movie format that will be enjoyable to both macross fans and newcomers alike. Just gotta re-design some stuff, drop the filler-ry stuff, focus on the love triangle, make it still look like man-kind is doomed, have Max & Miria pwn things when things seem dire....and a climactic huge scale battle of epic proportions during Operation Stargazer. Any other ideas?

Holy cow...the arnie ones are scary....demonic even...

In the pre-production pictures, it was holding a black mega launcher. Now its blue. Pity, i liked the black.

I was in a hot shower humming Totsugeki Love Heart when it hit me. What if Hory Froating Head's next Macross series is a movie remake of Macross 7, just like how DYRL was a movie remake for the original SDF-1. They could make it so good that even A1 would approve. Think about it. The sound force valks could be redesigned slightly so they look less circus-sy but more punky. The Proto-deviln will be re-designed to look less lame but more monstrous and evil, like the beings they are. The fleet will be depicted as a puny human fleet which is surviving by its fingernails against the apparently unlimited army of the protodeviln. Max barks out orders and survives battles through his sheer military genius (before Sound Force comes with their re-designed sound boosters). Since its a movie, less filler - stuff. Show Mylene's love dilemma between Gamlin and Basara. Flower girl appears as a cameo. Have probably 3-4 major battles, where the final one is on that ice planet where they initiated operation star-gazer. Depict the Macross 7 fleet's desperation to survive the seeminly invincible enemy. HOLA! A great epic macross movie. And new toylines!

I want to make macross toys and rival Yamato. XD

Meh. Only reason this got through is its all original mecha, no anime crossovers.

I do. It's called Laputa. Back to the topic, the LV2 should seriously be renamed to Camo type. It is a type of tropical camo paint after all. 376539[/snapback] I believe the camo is to hide the plane parking in a jungle, not when its flying.

on 1st look i thought that Yamato came up with the Orguss armour!! Orguss armour would be cool though.

I'd get a 1S with all teh goodies.

Sigh....too bad kurt, and the rest of the customisers are far away from me. Otherwise i'd get them to customise me an Enigma and Minmay guard. Shipping back and forth will kill me.

I, like you, feel that anime fighters look cool and MIGHT be plausible. But considering i'm no aero-nut unlike most of the people on this forum who are, and some of them fighter pilots, I'd take their word for it if I were you, that anime-planes aren't quite plausible.

lol. I'd say because anime fighters aren't that practical in design. And another reason for them to not be more creative in their design is pobably because their army is purely for self-defence (or so they claim) and thus have no research funds pumped into military applications. But we all know they are secretly constructing a mobile suit underground of tokyo, and have cute school girls as their Ultimate Weapon somewhere in Hokkaido.

Ahhh..thanks for that Shin. I'm a total loss in the comics world. XD

Someone in the model thread has already started this custom with his VF-2SS. Project in limbo though.

I think g3173 customised them himself. Wished i had talent OR cash. But i have none of the above.

Well fine i am an idiot. Thanks for pointing it out Clearly the rennaisance didn't have trains and steam powered stuff. Truth be told i only based what i said on the Seekers which look like something the Wright brothers and Da Vinci cooked up.

ORBOT! AXOID!! WTF?! ROFLMAO!

I wonder if they will have Soundwave in the form of a telegraph machine.

Sorry if i sound like a noob, but who is idw? Dreamwave? Didn't they close down? Anyway here's the new transformers comics....apparently taking place in.....the Rennaisance era. F-in weird. http://www.idwpublishing.com/titles/transformers/hos.shtml

I demand to know where you live. I'm so jealous.

I recently got a VF-2SS from a collector, fully painted and assembled. The painting's so-so, but damn the model's hot stuff. I love it!

Some poor kid's parents didn't get him the transformable GaoGaiGar and thus he made this...... Ok i lie...i made that story up. Pretty cool nonetheless.

I want the VF-1S in the hangar poster. Where can i get it?

Really? So Naruto is really licensed by someone in Malaysia? Well i'm not interested in Naruto thus not really informed about it. I guess they may be malay dubs then....horrid horrid malay dubs. Funny fact about Malaysian dubbed anime. Seems like every show from Doraemon to Sakura Taisen and Naruto have the same 3-4 voice actors.
